Took me a while to get a good photo. I wanted sunshine, and was hoping to have some nice wooden grips on her, but here's my 642. Yes, it has a lock. It's a start. Those are vintage 1985 Nyclads. The t-shirt is a memorial to the officer murdered on duty in 1999 in the town where I am a firefighter.

Reason: Called Nyclads Hydra-Shoks. Duh.

No offense, but $1/round is not unusual for modern defensive ammo. For my 9mm I would stick with something running around $1 a round since it will take a bit of ammo to make sure it is reliable, but if I were carrying a snubbie I would have no problem paying more since it isn't going to take more than a cylinder or two to make sure it works right and is accurate.

The Nyclad was re-introduced a couple of years ago after a long abscense. Federal has since pulled them from the market. The Midway link notes that the manufacturer has discontinued the product. Try adding to cart, and the cart indicates the product is not available, but discontinued.

As of last week the local police supplier was still stocking Federal Nyclads (in 50-round white boxes), and was not restricting sale to LEO's.

Today I picked up a few more boxes of Federal Nyclad and was informed by that same cop-shop manager that it is still available. He has to order a minimum of one pallet at a time. I didn't ask how many cases were on a pallet, but he seems to have no trouble selling them at $21.99/50-round box. I haven't seen it at any of the other local gun shops, though.

The last time I checked the Federal Nyclad are still available at my LGS, I will probably stock up, just in case. I was lucky enough to come by a handful of the original 158 grain Nyclad rounds and do carry them in my 642.

Beautiful! It may sound odd, but those grips really set off that gun nicely.

Cory, I didn't think you were complaining at all, it looked more like the poster above you was.

I'm jealous of those saying they can still get Nyclads. I haven't seen any around here at any point, but I do remember shooting some up that my grandfather had back when I didn't know the difference between FMJ and JHP, and he just said shoot whatever is in the ammo can.

Oh wow, I knew about Dan Wesson interchangeable barrels, but didn't realize they were available in 2". Dig that squared-off underlug! I'm sure the 36 is a much handier carry, but that Dan Wesson is the bees knees.
